Tp-Link Hangzhou is a research and development center in the high-technology zone of Binjiang District, Hangzhou, China. The twelve-story building combines open office areas, research space, meeting rooms, lecture halls, canteen and cafe areas, and a rooftop garden. Two slabs of different heights form a front courtyard facing the main street. Between the slabs, a transparent atrium built with a suspended-cable structure and ultra-white laminated glass connects the floors. Boxes and platforms placed in the atrium encourage meeting and communication.
